Music Box Poster
Mariah's third studio album was originally released in 1993. The album contains ballads alongside a few dance tracks. In order to appeal to a wider audience, Mariah solicited the assistance of a variety of producers including Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds, Robert Clivilles, David Cole, and Daryl Simmons. The bulk of the songwriting for this album was done by Carey and her writing partner Walter Afanasieff, whom she had previously worked with on the 1991 release Emotions. The album produced three worldwide chart-topping singles Dreamlover, Hero, and Without You. The song Without You became her first number-one single in European markets and reached the top three in the U.S. This recording has been mastered by the K2 HD format of 24-bit 100kHz, which creates an unbelievable sound surpassing other formats! 24-Bit/100kHz Mastering! This K2 HD Mastering CD will play on ALL CD players.Linda Ronstadt was America's sweetheart of the '70s, because she was able to combine a pretty face, a pretty voice and a safe personality. Her songs might be full of big notes and high emotions, but they satisfied every predictable expectation of a love ballad or good-time rocker. Mariah Carey is America's sweetheart of the '90s for the exact same reasons. Music Box topped the Billboard album charts, yielding number-one singles like "Dreamlover" and "Hero." The titles, one a hollow Minnie Riperton knock-off and the other a stiff Barbra Streisand imitation, are tip-offs to Carey's reliance on untethered fantasy (she's the fantasizer in the lyrics and the fantasy object in the videos). These songs, coªwritten and co-produced like most of the album by Walter Anasieff and Carey herself, are constructed to show off her dizzying soprano, not to provide an original approach to a well-worn subject. Even when she gets a strong ballad to sing, like her current singles--Babyface's "Never Forget You" or Badfinger/Nilsson's "Without You"--she overdoes the self-pity bit so much that the song loses its dramatic tension. --Geoffrey Himes
